Tinidazole（Cat No.:A000726）is an antimicrobial agent commonly used to treat protozoal and bacterial infections. It is particularly effective against infections caused by Giardia, Trichomonas, and Entamoeba histolytica. Tinidazole works by inhibiting DNA synthesis in microorganisms, leading to cell death. It is typically administered orally in tablet form and is used for conditions such as giardiasis, trichomoniasis, and amebiasis. It has a similar mechanism of action to metronidazole but offers a more convenient dosing regimen. Tinidazole is well-tolerated, with potential side effects including gastrointestinal upset and a metallic taste.
